White Rock Peak - 4/8/14

View from White Rock Peak

Climbing West Side

Today's Super Tuesday hike led thirteen hikers up to the peak on the White Rock Hills. This is the southernmost peak nearest Willow Springs Picnic Area, not to be confused with the northern White Rock Springs Peak. Attaining the peak is quite a scramble as shown in the photos below taken by Laszlo. Mike adds the summit photo and Lasz sends a few words to describe their day.

Almost There

Break Time

This
wonderful Tuesday, while one group did 6 miles around White Mtn, 13
hearty souls (including one soulette…!) did 3 miles and +2,000’ to the
peak and back. We started up throughout the steep, shady and a bit bushy canyon on the west side then took a short brake in the sunshine. …Then climbed some more. Not a bad panorama to feast our eyes as seen in the first photo.

Starting Down South Side

We received a few descent pointers from our leader then started down by traversing the mountain around to the south side. There were still a few challenges in front of us when we got a glimpse of the cars parked below!~ Laszlo

Welcome to our website!

As a group of people who have climbed over the age 50 mark and still have very young hearts (pun intended), we welcome new members and guests to our club. It is easy to join. Just show up at a hike rated leisurely and pay your yearly dues of $5. If you aren't sure about it, be our guest for one hike. You will be required to sign a waiver of liability and a release of your image to be used on this website if you happen to walk inadvertently in front of a camera.

To the extent that we contemplate ourselves and elevate our state of life, we can deepen our understanding of others. Someone who does so is capable of recognizing and treasuring people’s individuality. A person of wisdom tries to invigorate others and bring out the best in them.

I believe friendship is the most genuinely humane relationship of which we are capable. To be understood and appreciated for oneself is a vital experience in life.

Points to Ponder

Dogs solution for stress: if you cannot eat it, if you cannot play with it, pee on it and walk away.
